AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 vs Intel Processor U302L Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data set contains no benchmark scores for either the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 or the Intel Processor U302L. The head-to-head benchmark table is empty, and both processors have an average benchmark score of zero. Consequently, no comparative performance deltas can be derived from the database at this time. Both parts sit at the 50th percentile against all CPUs in the database, a neutral position that reflects the absence of measured results rather than any performance parity.

Without benchmark results, the only measurable distinctions between these two processors are structural. The AMD part fields 16 cores and 32 threads, while the Intel part offers 5 cores and 6 threads. The AMD processor operates with a base clock of 3.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. The Intel processor runs at a 1.20 GHz base clock and a 2.40 GHz boost clock. These clock and core counts imply a substantial theoretical throughput advantage for the AMD processor, but no application-level score confirms it in the database.

The thermal design point further separates the two. The AMD processor carries a 55 W TDP, while the Intel processor is rated at 15 W. That 40 W difference in power class indicates the AMD part is positioned for sustained high-load compute, whereas the Intel part targets lower-power operation. Again, no benchmark data validates how that power budget translates into actual application performance.

Where Each One Wins

The database records zero wins for either processor in the head-to-head comparison. Both winsA and winsB fields are set to zero. Without any benchmark entries, there is no measured basis to declare a winner in any workload category. The absence of data means the analysis cannot assign productivity, gaming, rendering, or battery-life advantages to either part.

The theoretical case, based purely on the specification fields, favors the AMD processor in multithreaded and single-threaded workloads. The 16-core, 32-thread configuration with a 5.20 GHz boost clock provides a raw resource advantage. The Intel processor, with 5 cores and 6 threads, is built for efficiency. Its 15 W TDP and modest 2.40 GHz boost clock suggest deployment in fanless or low-power chassis. However, these are inferences from the specification sheet, not results from the benchmark database.

The AMD processor supports LPDDR5X memory across a quad-channel bus, yielding a memory bandwidth figure of 273.1 GB/s. The Intel processor supports DDR4 and DDR5 across a dual-channel bus, with no bandwidth figure recorded. Memory bandwidth is often a decisive factor in integrated-graphics workloads and data-intensive tasks. The AMD part's quad-channel configuration gives it a theoretical memory throughput advantage, but no benchmark confirms the real-world impact.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 uses the Gorgon Halo codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI Max+ PRO generation built on Zen 5. It is fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The die is composed of two 70.6 mm² chiplets. The Intel Processor U302L uses the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically the Raptor Lake-PS codename, and is built on a 10 nm process at Intel. No die size is recorded for the Intel part.

Cache hierarchies differ markedly. Both processors allocate 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD part provides 1 MB of L2 per core and a 64 MB L3 cache. The Intel part provides 1.25 MB of L2 per core and a 10 MB shared L3 cache. The AMD processor's 64 MB L3 cache is six times larger than the Intel processor's 10 MB shared L3. This large L3 allocation typically benefits workloads with sizable working sets that exceed small cache capacities. The Intel part's per-core L2 is slightly larger at 1.25 MB versus 1 MB, but the total cache footprint remains far smaller.

The memory controllers diverge as well. The AMD processor supports LPDDR5X exclusively, across a quad-channel interface, with ECC memory enabled. The Intel processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5 across a dual-channel interface, without ECC support. The AMD processor's ECC capability and quad-channel bus position it for error-sensitive or memory-bandwidth-heavy tasks. The Intel processor's dual-channel DDR4/DDR5 flexibility allows broader memory compatibility but limits peak bandwidth.

PCIe connectivity also differs. The AMD processor exposes Gen 4 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The Intel processor exposes Gen 4 with 8 lanes from the CPU. The AMD part offers double the PCIe lane count, which matters for discrete GPUs, NVMe storage arrays, or other expansion devices. Both use Gen 4 signaling, so per-lane bandwidth is identical; the difference is in the number of available lanes.

Integrated graphics differ in name and presumably capability. The AMD processor uses the Radeon 8065S. The Intel processor uses UHD Graphics 80EU. No graphics benchmark data exists in the database, so no performance comparison can be made between these iGPU solutions.

The production status for both is Active. The AMD processor carries the part number 100-000002124, while the Intel processor carries the part number SRPKGQ5CX. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier. The AMD processor is not overclockable, and neither is the Intel processor. Both are mobile-market segments.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every recorded specification field. The AMD part has 16 cores versus 5 cores, and 32 threads versus 6 threads. Base clock is 3.10 GHz versus 1.20 GHz. Boost clock is 5.20 GHz versus 2.40 GHz. TDP is 55 W versus 15 W. The socket is AMD Socket FP11 versus Intel Socket 1700. Process node is 4 nm versus 10 nm. Foundry is TSMC versus Intel.

Cache differences are substantial. L2 per core is 1 MB versus 1.25 MB, a small per-core advantage for Intel. L3 is 64 MB versus 10 MB, a decisive advantage for AMD. Memory support is LPDDR5X versus DDR4 and DDR5. Memory bus is quad-channel versus dual-channel. Memory bandwidth is 273.1 GB/s for AMD, with no recorded figure for Intel. ECC memory is supported on AMD only. PCIe is Gen 4 with 16 lanes versus Gen 4 with 8 lanes. Integrated graphics is Radeon 8065S versus UHD Graphics 80EU.

The release dates differ by roughly two years. The Intel Processor U302L was released on April 7, 2024. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 was released on May 19, 2026. The Intel part has a recorded launch MSRP of $285, stated once here as launch MSRP. The AMD part has no launch MSRP in the database.
